Technically, this was the only season of "Dragnet 1968" - the NBC series update had started a year earlier with (what else?) "Dragnet 1967" - but there's no mistaking the ultraprocedural style the title indicates.

Star and producer Jack Webb continues his iconic portrayal of tight-lipped Sgt. Joe Friday, who leaves the occasional doses of lightness to partner Bill Gannon (Harry Morgan) as the duo works the streets of Los Angeles to find and bust criminals. And, of course, in the fact-inspired stories: "The names have been changed to protect the innocent." *** (Not rated: AS, V)
